Got everything in and working, now the pump won't stop. Going to check the under-dash fuses this weekend and see if the problem is there.
Yes filled to the correct level.Does it have enough LHS in the reservoir?
How old is this car?Does it have enough LHS in the reservoir?
And before all of them was Donax D.Dear me LHS, LHM, LDS - it's all too much for my brain to hold.
Cheers, Ken
LHM is Mineral oil.LHS is Synthetic as is LDS. LDS is recommended by Mercedes, Rolls Royce, BMW, I use LDS in my C5, it's green like LHM which confused George at Paris motors when he replaced my R/H front suspension bushes, he told me that I was using LHM. Some mechanics should check their information before arguing with a potential customer. He lost me.Dear me LHS, LHM, LDS - it's all too much for my brain to hold.

Without prior knowledge of your use of a different fluid in the C5, it was prudent & appropriate for George to point out the suspected wrong oil. If it had in fact been LHM, & it had caused damage, he would have been legally liable for not warning you.LHM is Mineral oil.LHS is Synthetic as is LDS.

Feel the same every time you post here and Facebook you ask for help but then refute most comments good luckNot worth replying to.
The car isn't stuffed and the colour of LDS has something to do with the patent held by Total.Feel the same every time you post here and Facebook you ask for help but then refute most comments good luck
I see your point but he didn't have to argue about it. When I got home I checked the bottle again and it is green. LDAS is orange but that is a power steering fluid. I rang Penrite and asked them if there is any difference in the fluid specs before I started using it. They recommended using LDS. When my mum had her 1975 DS21 it a hydraulic line ruptured on the way to Brisbane. It was rubbing on a cross-member. After a very kind country mechanic came to our rescue I had to fill the hydraulic tank with automatic transmission fluid, because there was no LHM available anywhere nearby, which I continued to use for another 10 yrs at which point we sold it. I never had any problems with any of the seals and every 12 months I changed the fluid.Without prior knowledge of your use of a different fluid in the C5, it was prudent & appropriate for George to point out the suspected wrong oil.
